The Wrong Side: Godzilla vs. Thor and the Avengers

In this feature, I examine comic book fights that were particularly notable in the wrong side winning (or at least that the fight wasn’t won the “right” way). This really isn’t a big deal, of course, as it doesn’t really matter if the “wrong” person won a fight. But it’s fun to talk about!

If you want to suggest a fight for future inclusion in this feature, drop me a line at bcronin@comicbookresources.com. Don’t suggest a fight in the comments!

Today, based on a suggestion from reader Ben W., we take a look at the time Godzilla took on the Avengers and the Fantastic Four and, well, did really, really well…

As always, the first page spotlights their power levels and the second page examines the fight itself.

And as always, the first question we need to ask is…

How did these people do when they fought Spider-Man?

As I’ve written about a few times, Spider-Man oddly enough has never actually fought the standard, normal Thor. He’s fought Eric Masterson’s Thor, he fought a Hulked-Out version of Thor (while also similarly Hulked-Out) but never the real deal.

However, Thor DID once fight a robot duplicate of Spider-Man, and the robot duplicate actually won in Avengers #11 by Stan Lee, Don Heck and Chic Stone…

Spider-Man has never fought Godzilla. He showed up too late for the big fight in Godzilla #24 (by Doug Moench, Herb Trimpe and Dan Green), but clearly he probably WOULD have defeated Godzilla by himself…

Okay, so this issue involves the rest of the Avengers AND the Fantastic Four, but let’s spotlight Thor in particular.
